Packing your suitcase (or rather, your soft-sided travel bag) for a Mediterranean catamaran cruise is often the first step of the trip… and sometimes a source of stress. Should you pack a lot? Not enough? Specific outfits?

Good news: aboard Croisière Évasion, everything is designed to simplify your life. The goal is simple: travel light, comfortably, and with peace of mind, to fully enjoy your experience at sea between Corsica and Sardinia.

🌊 Travel light: the golden rule on a catamaran

Unlike a traditional vacation, life aboard a catamaran encourages simplicity. Spaces are optimized, movement is seamless, and you naturally spend most of your time… barefoot.

👉 Our advice: opt for a soft-sided bag rather than a hard-sided suitcase, which is much easier to store in the cabins.

The essentials in your bagage for life aboard a catamaran

For a successful cruise, some essentials shouldn’t be forgotten:

• 2 to 3 swimsuits
• A microfiber towel (in addition to those provided)
• Sunglasses (with a strap recommended)
• Hat or cap
• Flip-flops or sandals
• A pair of lightweight sneakers for walks ashore

👕 Clothing suitable for life on board

The Mediterranean offers warm days and cooler evenings at sea.

To pack:

• Light clothing (dresses, shorts, t-shirts)
• A windbreaker (essential while sailing)
• A sweater or sweatshirt for the evenings
• A slightly dressier outfit for dinners ashore

👉 No dress code on board: everyone experiences the cruise at their own pace, in a relaxed atmosphere.

🧭 The little extras that make all the difference

For even more comfort:

• A waterproof pouch for your phone and valuables
• A small backpack for ports of call
• Seasickness medication (just in case, although many don’t need it)

🚫 In short, what you should avoid bringing on a catamaran:
